10.3: Auto unmount external drives on logout
Authored by: Hes Nikke on Nov 07, '03 11:19:44AM
this isn't just FireWire drives that gets unmounted, EVERYTHING get unmounted! the only think that doesn't is your root/boot (duh) and the drive set for classic (huh?)

the problem is that if you have a slower machine, (i hope!) it will start logging you in before it starts mounting drives! causing all sorts of problems.

you can see my longer rant here [macosxhints.com]

to sum it up, you wind having to log into the local account before you log into the account with the non-local home folder, rather then after you log out of that account (grr)
